Abstract: An outlet cover with barrier wall, the cover for an outlet box mounted in a building wall including an outer wall with an outer opening formed in the outer wall; a surrounding wall integrally joined to an outer periphery of the outer wall and extending substantially normal to the outer wall; a barrier wall integrally joined to an inner periphery of the outer wall at an edge of the outer opening and extending substantially normal to the outer wall, the barrier wall forming an inner opening opposite the outer opening to meet the outlet box; and an attaching flange integrally joined to an inner end of the surrounding wall for being placed against the building wall, the attaching flange being a continuous flange about an exterior periphery of the surrounding wall.

Abstract: A trash receptacle comprising an entrance in a wall adapted to receive a disposable, lightweight, and preferably plastic cartridge is disclosed. The cartridge is adapted to dispose its center of gravity in a manner that maintains the cartridge within the wall entrance under its own empty weight. The cartridge may further receive a disposable bag to maintain sterility. The bag can be held in place by a sealing device, such as an O-ring, which, in one embodiment, snaps over said bag onto said cartridge, said O-ring or other sealing device preferably color-coded to indicate the type of waste to be disposed in said cartridge. The cartridge is also adapted to receive a plug to allow disposal of sharps. If a bag breaks, the cartridge may be sealed and disposed of, thereby maintaining a sanitary and sterile environment. The receptacles may be arrayed in a wall, thereby providing a convenient waste disposal system that does not interfere with critical working space.
